VOL. i.
Ht BASE FALSEHOOD.
Wr have been informed that cer
tain parties- have been circulating
the report that the Dawn is an In
dependent paper—notPopuli6t. All
such reports are base and'malicious
fabrications.
Who Cm Answer?
Someone has discovered that all •
of the State nominees on the Pupu
list; ticket are members of the A. P.
A. We do not believe it, but if
they are, and were nominated as!
Populists, and not as A. P. A's., we j
would have no kick coming. What!
we do object to is the manipulation i
of Populist conventions in behalf of j
a secret.order.—Tacoma Sun. j
Sow# and to th« Point
If the Populists who have joined
the A. P. A. are wise,and really de
sire to see Pbpnlist principles suc
ceed, they will have n© more to do
with this organisation. If a-man's
ability aricl inclftiatfow and desire
to fight Catholics.- is to be made a
test of his Populism,-then we are
not a Populist. Let the republi
earis'ftght it out on that line if they
want to, but let us, who claim to be
in favor of "Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none," refuse
to be made a tool of'for the further
ance of plutocracy. Let us go into
the county convention as Populists
and not in the intere&t of any secret
organization and success is certain,
but if we are split on any side issue,
defeat-will be the result, and justly
so. "Keep in the middle of the
road.'.'—Tacoma Sun.
We most heartily endorse the
foregoing and recom men (J its care

The Omaha Bee says of President
Cleveland's Attorney General:
"Mr. Olney is coming up to every
expectation of the railroads which
he represents. Whether it be de
puty marshals or United States
troops which the railroad managers
,ask for the protection of their prop
erty, . Olney's order is promptly
forthcoming without a moment's
delay or deliberation."—The Har
binger, (Christian) San Francisco.
The Kansas City Journal wants
the democrats to fuse with the re
publicans in order to defeat the
Populists. Ditto, Topeka Capital.
The twins are getting together quite
rapidly.'—Agitator, Garnet, Kan.

ELLENSBURG, WASH., AUGUST 18, 1894.
"I see a time coming fraught with more danger than any
war we have yet passed through; a time when the moneypow
er will dominate over patriotism, and gradually contracting
our currency, force us into a fratricidal war more horrible
than any yet past. The future dangers to the republic* He in
the increased greed of the mony power. Let our future law
makers beware of the* foothold that power shall endeavor to
gain upon our statnte books.
I see in the near future a crisis arising that unnerves me
and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As
a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an
era of corruption in high places will follow; while the money
power of the country will endeavor to prolong' its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth
has aggregated in a few hands and the repulic is destroyed.
—Abraham Lincoln.

The railway magnates dimly see
the handwriting on the wall and are
endeavoring to convince the people
that the railway service would prove
a wretched failure if the roads be
longed to the government. What
is the matter with our mail service?
We have the finest postal service in
the world and the postal clerks nev
er go on a strike. If the railway
business were half so honestly, or
half so well managed in any sense,
as the government manages its mail
business in all the States and Ter
ritories, there would be little cause
for 1 cofflplaint.—Harbinger, iChris.)

been sundry hints dropped to the
effect thnt The Sun will be injured
if it continues to oppose the A. P.
A. domination in Populist politics.
In regard to this we would sim
ply say: If there is a single Popu
list who can take offense at what
we have said about the A. P. A. let
him come forward like a man and
say it to the editor's face, and we
promise to convince him in three
minutes that he loves the A. P. A.
better than he does the Populist
party,, and we'll leave it to our
readers to judge whether he is as
good a Populist as the writer.

WORDS THAT BURN.
WEATHER REPORT.
The citv council met in regular session
last Monday night. One item of business
transacted ras the letting of the contract for
city printing to The Capital at 14 l * cents per
square. Thk Dawn was not a competitor.
The above paragraph Is from the Itegister,
which did compete for the printing. It is
true the Dawn was not a competitor, not
being a member of the city council it had a
legnl right to pur in a bid. However, it may
be courtesy where there are two papers of
the name political faith in a place for only
one to bid..—Ellensburg Capital.
Oh now come off of your perch,
you don't mean to" class* us-political
ly with that democratic-republican
combination, do you? It is enough
to have to answer for our own sins,
without having any others shoul
dered on us.
For Your Consideration.
We understand that there have
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Some persons have complained to
us that there is no avenue open to
the public for the discussion of
questions about the management of
our county and city affairs &c.
While we cannot take up all these
subjects at present, we expect to do
so some time, but, if in the mean
time, there are others who wish to
do so, our columns are open to all
legitimate discussions.
The more Congress rolls that tar
iff something around, the worse it
smells—wont somebody carry it out
and throw some ashes on it?
